Chapter 95: A Name

He thought back to how he held the chair for her at dinner last night and how he opened the car door for her this morning. She was oblivious to all these expressions of his feelings towards her.

Si Zhengting flew into a fit of jealousy. He threw his pen down on the desk loudly, breaking their soundless conversation. He then looked up and gave Ji Chen an icy-cold stare.

Ji Chen immediately stood up straight and lowered his head, not daring to cast another glance in Zhuang Nainai’s direction.

Zhuang Nainai could not get a response from him and was stomping her feet in frustration. She dared not utter a word when Si Zhengting looked over because she would have to start by addressing his name.

What should she call him?

Hubby? Darling? Baby? Man of the house? My old mate?

They were all unsuitable.

She was at her wits end and could not help but complain that Google had its limitations.

Oh no! This matter regarding names was such a headache!

Seconds ticked by. She opened her mouth and closed it, still clueless on how to address him. It was driving her crazy.

Damn!

Isn’t it just a name?

She looked up abruptly and shouted in a flustered voice, “Si Zhengting! Let’s eat!”

Zhuang Nainai was stunned by her own choice of name.

Oh no!

Why did she call him by his full name? He was used to being revered by all, no one else would have dared to address him by his full name.

Si Zhengting’s fingers that were drumming on the desk paused slightly.

He had wanted her to address him intimately like “hubby” or “darling,” but the words “Si Zhengting” shook him for a while.

These three syllables were uttered with her special touch. It rang with her righteousness, anticipation, and elation, just like when she was going after him years back.

That voice had annoyed him back then, but they had resonated through his mind these recent years.

To Si Zhengting, no one had ever said his name better than she had.

His gaze grew heavy again.

Zhuang Nainai was buckling under the immense stress and pressure. She waited for Si Zhengting’s death glare or outburst anxiously, but to her surprise…

He kept quiet and stayed put?

Zhuang Nainai looked up and over to discover that he seemed to be… daydreaming?

He then stood abruptly, giving Zhuang Nainai a big fright. She was about to turn and make a run for it when she heard him utter a soft acknowledgement.

Zhuang Nainai was dumbstruck.

However, she had somehow survived the ordeal. She jogged over happily, and the pair finally started on their lunch.

Meanwhile, in the second floor cafeteria in the Imperial Group building.

A few ladies from the design team were chatting.

“Hey, what’s the deal about the new girl, Zhuang Nainai?”

“No idea, she just joined in unexpectedly. Better not mess with her, she must have strong backing!”

“She looks pretty though. I heard Executive Ji led her here himself, do you all think she could be Executive Ji’s girl?”

“No way! I would believe you more if you said Executive Ji has a man. Executive Ji has not been involved with a woman all these years, and he looks so feminine, he must be gay!”

Another lunch box suddenly appeared at the dining table.

They all turned and got a shock. “Boss Mi!”

Mi Nuo smiled. “Can I join you?”

“Sure, sure!” They all packed their lunch boxes in a hurry and made space at the table for Mi Nuo.
